Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Botany
  • Ecology
  • Insect

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Botany, Tephritidae, Ceratitis capitata, Pheromone and Horticulture. Eric B. Jang has researched Botany in several fields, including Reproduction and Odor. To a larger extent, Eric B. Jang studies PEST analysis with the aim of understanding Tephritidae.

His research integrates issues of Fruit tree and Electroantennography in his study of Ceratitis capitata. The various areas that Eric B. Jang examines in his Pheromone study include Zoology and Sex pheromone. His work in the fields of Horticulture, such as Ripeness and Ripening, overlaps with other areas such as Hexyl acetate.

His most cited work include:

  • Potential of "lure and kill" in long-term pest management and eradication of invasive species. (182 citations)
  • Host-plant green-leaf volatiles synergize the synthetic sex pheromones of the corn earworm and codling moth (Lepidoptera) (163 citations)
  • Effects of mating and accessory gland injections on olfactory-mediated behavior in the female mediterranean fruit fly, Ceratitis capitata (133 citations)

What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?

Eric B. Jang focuses on Tephritidae, Botany, Horticulture, Ceratitis capitata and PEST analysis. His study connects Toxicology and Tephritidae. He studied Botany and Odor that intersect with Animal ecology.

His work carried out in the field of Horticulture brings together such families of science as Host and Quarantine. His work on Mediterranean Fruit Flies as part of his general Ceratitis capitata study is frequently connected to Capitata, thereby bridging the divide between different branches of science. Eric B. Jang interconnects Ecology and Rubiaceae in the investigation of issues within PEST analysis.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Tephritidae (61.24%)
  • Botany (58.14%)
  • Horticulture (37.98%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2011-2020)?

  • Tephritidae (61.24%)
  • Botany (58.14%)
  • Horticulture (37.98%)

In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:

Eric B. Jang mainly investigates Tephritidae, Botany, Horticulture, Bactrocera dorsalis and PEST analysis. His study in Tephritidae is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Bioassay, Toxicology, Toxicity and Sex pheromone. Botany connects with themes related to Reproduction in his study.

His work in the fields of Orchard overlaps with other areas such as Field tests. His research integrates issues of Zoology, Ingestion and Biological pest control in his study of Bactrocera dorsalis. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Melon, Juniperus virginiana and Ceratopogonidae.

Between 2011 and 2020, his most popular works were:

  • Morphological Features of the Ovaries During Oogenesis of the Oriental Fruit Fly, Bactrocera dorsalis, in Relation to the Physiological State (62 citations)
  • Pheromones, Male Lures, and Trapping of Tephritid Fruit Flies (42 citations)
  • Trapping and the Detection, Control, and Regulation of Tephritid Fruit Flies (34 citations)

In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:

  • Botany
  • Ecology
  • Insect

His primary areas of study are Tephritidae, Horticulture, Bactrocera dorsalis, Botany and Pheromone. Many of his studies involve connections with topics such as Toxicology and Tephritidae. His Bactrocera dorsalis study combines topics in areas such as Mating, Cyantraniliprole, Bioassay, Toxicity and Ingestion.

His Botany study frequently involves adjacent topics like Reproduction. Eric B. Jang works mostly in the field of Pheromone, limiting it down to topics relating to Bactrocera and, in certain cases, Morning, Anastrepha, Kairomone and Sex pheromone. While the research belongs to areas of Methyl eugenol, Eric B. Jang spends his time largely on the problem of Orchard, intersecting his research to questions surrounding Ceratitis capitata.
